This is simply magical. \o/
Vendored in khashl.h. I wouldn't have used it if this were the only
place where I'd need a custom hash table, but it should come in handy
for other tasks as well, especially when I get to implementing an LRU
for prepared statement caching.
(Can all be done with Perl HV's, but they're less efficient and more
cumbersome for these tasks)
+ refactor things a bit so that send & recv functions use the same
context struct, because the way they're setup is pretty much the same
for both. This also adds recursive type resolution for bind parameters.
These macros don't assume alignment and may be somewhat inefficient with
all that copying. I'm hoping GCC is able to optimize that crap somewhat.
Also the pg type receive functions can not, in fact, assume that their
input buffers are properly aligned. That won't necessarily be the case
for array elements.
NOW we're really getting to the part where this module is more awesome
than DBD::Pg.
(When I started working on this module I was expecting that the Postgres
binary protocol would send jsonb in a binary format as well and that I'd
be duplicating parts of the JSON parser/formatter to make that work, but
it turns out that Postgres just uses plain json for exchange. Saves me
some trouble, I guess)
I liked the Perl implementation of transactions, but managing state
between Perl and C is a bit cumbersome, so I've moved the whole thing
into C.
Also added a few statement configuration methods that currently don't do
anything yet.
